In The White Fields, Ranger Bill and his team of forest rangers are called into action when a violent influenza outbreak strikes the farming community near Central City. With ninety percent of the local farmers incapacitated, the urgent need arises to harvest the wheat before it spoils. Ranger Bill, committed to his duty as the guardian of the forest, decides to send three of his men—Marty Nelson, Larry Fleming, and Morgan Connors—to assist in the critical task. The rangers are accustomed to facing the elements of nature, but this time, they must adapt to the challenges of farming under the hot sun.
